Abstract

Jesus: A Very Short Introduction explores the figure of Jesus through the four Gospels of the New Testament. These ancient texts provide historical evidence for his life and teachings, with each Gospel portraying Jesus from different perspectives. Eyewitness accounts by those who knew Jesus show how he was perceived by those who were close to him and shed light on his character and motivations. How did Jesus come to be the object of Christian faith and worship? And why do two billion people today identify as Christians? The Gospels provide knowledge about the man that may help to answer these questions.
